OK and Cancel buttons callback

[Hon Seng Phuah]

I tried to find this newsgroup and Cadence reference softcopy
reference books but I could not find examples dealing with OK and
Cancel callback on a form.

May someone give a simple example how I can detect a user clicks OK or
Cancel button on a form?

Thanks.

When you call hiCreateAppForm(), you can pass the ?callback argument.
If you supply just a single symbol or string, that's the callback for the OK
only. If you supply a list, then the first entry is the OK callback, and the
second is the cancel callback. This is in the documentation (at least
I think it is - I've not checked).

So something like:

?callback list('MYokCallback 'MYcancelCallback)

where each function is written to accept a single argument - the formId.

Andrew.

hi bernd, you don't really have to worry so much about backslashing all
your strings like this... you can take advantage of th %L function
feature of printf.

?callback '(
"printf( \"You hit OK!\n\" )"
"printf( \"You hit Cancel!\n\" )"
)

?callback (list (sprintf nil "%L" '(printf "You hit OK!n"))
(sprintf nil "%L" '(printf "You hit Cancel!n") ))

obviously you can write a SKILL function to make this easier to use

(defun encap_string ( l_list)
(sprintf nil "%L" l_list))

?callback (list (encap_string '(printf "You hit OK!\n"))
(encap_string '(printf "You hit Cancel!\n")))
